Serena Williams’ daughter, Olympia, shines in the spotlight at the US Open

Dressing in glittery clothes to mimic her mother’s outfit, she posed for photos and chatted with her dad while Williams took care of the action by sending Danka Kovnik in the first round and winning straight sets.

“Either she’s wearing beads, or I am,” Williams told reporters afterwards. “I wanted to do it, but I didn’t have the time… I was so happy when she was wearing it. It’s perfect for her.”

Olympia, who turns five on Thursday, is a miracle in her own right.

“Believe me, I’ve never wanted to choose between tennis and family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were young, I wouldn’t write this because I would be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical work of expanding our family,” Williams told Rob Haskell.

But not yet. A second-round singles match looms on Wednesday against second seed Annette Kontaveit, as the duo plays with her sister Venus, and the excitement is likely to grow.

“The fans were crazy,” Williams said during the post-match party, and her husband and daughter were standing nearby. “They really helped pull me in. I was really surprised, like, ‘Yeah, I got this.'”
